http://www.bestres.comGood, better, Best! Best Seller tip: "What you know can't hurt you, and what you don't, might." Best Advice to Buyers: "Expect the unexpected." Best idea we have seen: "Lay down on the ground and watch the clouds pass by, the treetops move in the wind, the birds pass; listen to the grasses and leaves."

http://www.molliew.com/So cleverly designed I did not realize for some time that this site, except for the hyperlinks, is entirely done in black and white. Line drawings, humor and a breezy conversational style draw the viewer deeply into the site with minimum aggravation, and maximum pleasure.Minnesota Real Estate, Jeff Anderson, Twin Cities
http://www.mnrealestate.com/If large graphics discourage you, turn them off, because there is plenty of Minnesota information here to be woth a visit, but you will also want to turn them back on for the virtual home tour if you find a house you like. This is one of the best individual agent's page on the Web.Marshall & Swift
http://www.marshallswift.com/The building cost bible on-line: quarterly building cost review, newsletter, and related information. Now consumers and agents can see firsthand the factors that affect building and remodleing costs, and how that appraiser came up with such an outrageous replacement cost!Pike Net
http://www.pikenet.comWhat IRED does for residential real estate sites PikeNet does for commercial real estate on the Web. IRED tries to cover all real estate, but we are thrilled to see this commercial real estate directory in what appears to be a compatible, though somewhat different, format. The ratings system is more systematic than IRED's, but very well executed using one to 5 stars.650-acre Farm, Albany, KY
http://www.webcom.com/duane/forsale.htmlThis for sale by owner Kentucky beef cattle, tobacco, and timber farm is just the beginning of a captivating tour of the owners' wealth of interests and generousity of spirit. This site is complex and diverse, ranging from farms and homes to computers and kids links..Home Debut, Virtual Real Estate Network, Spokane, WA
http://www.home-debut.comIt is with minor trepidation that we recommend Home Debut. On April 1 they are in the midst of major revision, but change is the mark of a great web site, so we have faith this will continue to offer excellent information and virtual walk-thru presentations of properties. Slide show technology offers a variety of views, and most of the photos files are small enough to be worth the wait.Garden Escape
The seed catalog comes to the Web. Actually this escapist's delight is a quantum leap from the the "garden variety" catalog! From a teak rocker to antique roses, bulbs to bird houses, you'll need the nifty personal notebook to keep track of all you find here...then you can even design your own garden right online. Registration (free) is required for some functions, but this annoyance was the only negative we found.
